Abstract

Students from teaching courses, during their initial training, need to be introduced into the process of reformulation and resignification of knowledge for the construction of scientific and pedagogical knowledge which will be crucial for their future professional practices. The hypothesis is that this will only be achieved through collective activities that involve not only university students in their initial training and their professors, but also school teachers. This article reflects upon the contributions the activities developed by a Study Group, based on Fleck's epistemology, has made to the process of initial training in future teachers of the area of Science. The results indicate that these students, who are experiencing a qualified initiation to teaching, are feeling more motivated and better able to exercise their profession in the future.
